Perverted Team Building Exercises (Ann)

The Phantom Thieves were hanging out in the Thieves Den playing another card game and making Yusuke lose even more of his savings. They were on their fifth round when a new figure walked to them.

They all jumped out of their seats, weapons drawn. Though the Den never had an enemy appear before, it seemed better to be safe than sorry. The stranger quickly held her hands up and started to apologize.

"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you all. I'm...Athena. You could consider me an aunt of Jose's or a friend of Igor's if you like. I'm not here to fight you or cause trouble. The opposite actually. I'm here to help." She said.

"And how exactly are you planning on doing that?" Makoto asked.

"I will help you grow your bonds with each other. Bonds are the most important part of a team. You can't work together if you don't trust your team mates or they don't trust you."

"Hey! We trust each other a lot!" Ryuji said.

"You trust that you won't betray each other, but that doesn't mean you don't trust each other completely. Do you trust in each others judgement? That your team members will make the right choice when it counts? That they'll fight in coordination with you? That they won't let emotions blind them? Even if the answer is yes, why not indulge me? Why not deepen your bond even more? I'm sure you noticed that the closer you get, the stronger your persona becomes afterall, so there's no reason to say no."

The phantom thieves looked at each other and whispered among themselves for a few minutes.

"So... What do we need to do first?" Ann asked.
